Ack! Do I need to restart?

Sacred is half upkeep, blessed is none -- does this apply to Shroud of the Battle Saint?

hope so, sounds like a nice way around upkeep if you have the gems

This is the first I've heard of perma-blessed units having no upkeep at all. Is that really true? And if so I'm really anxious to learn if the Shroud trick will work!

Yes, it does work.

Hm this is interesting. You always learn something new

.

Iirc the shroud costs only 5 pearls?
Sounds like an interesting pan strat, take oracle and good scales and forge shrouds for your pans

. Also Pan is one of the nations which doesn't neccessarily need a SC god for earlygame imho.

I'm fairly sure the shroud does not reduce upkeep...

I agree, I don't think the shroud reduces upkeep - the commander is blessed but not sacred.

I thought that all prophets have upkeep of zero, but I havn't tested it out.

Yes, prophets have 0 upkeep, sacred units half, shroud does nothing upkeep wise.
